Now to all the cowards who read my blog and to you JULES SMITH (if that is even your real name) where in the name of God's creation did you think you had the right to tell me my children are ugly and not worth saving? You have down right gone down the wrong road and will one day face the consequences of your words. Don't you EVER attack one of my children!! My children are wonderfully and fearfully made in the eyes of my Lord. Jules, you think that just because we hit obstacles that I am going to quit on my children? I sure hope to God you are not a parent because I would feel very sorry for your child. Life is not easy, it is not fair, and it certainly does not go the way we want all of the time. NO, instead it is as God has planned it. Only I am certain that God did not plan for idiots such as yourselves. I am glad we have been chosen to follow this path of God's because He obviously sees something in our family He does not see in YOU! God does not call just anyone to do His work. He has called many a wonderful families to go forth and follow His command. That is why in the Bible (if you don't have one I would be happy to send all of you anonymous cowards one but wait you are hiding like a coward behind your ugly words and lack of understanding) it says to take care of the widows and orphans. And for those of you who feel you need to constantly tell my husband and I about all of the thousands of children in foster care right here in the United States you can just save your breath as we have been foster parents for some time now. You should feel ashamed that you pick on innocent children but again I guess you have no conscience upon which shame can fall. Yes, I am done with your stupidity, your ugliness, and your misspelled words. If you are going to leave me a comment then at least make it an intelligent one where the words are spelled correctly and correct grammar is used. And you had better reserve your uneducated, incorrectly spelled, slang related, stupid comments away from my children and those children who are continuing to bless those of us who have been chosen into God's kingdom. One thing I can rest in is that I won't have to see your face on God's side of Heaven as I am sure you couldn't find your way there if you tried because you only have blinders of hatred leading your way whereas I, and so many others, have the beautiful love of Jesus Christ leading us to His Father. For as much time as you spend spewing non intellectual words there are multitudes of songs going out for all of the precious lives that are being saved each and every day.

Attn: Jules Smith and others(this is not pretty)
For those of you readers out there who have lifted us up in prayer, helped us raise money, given our family encouragement, checked in to see how things are going or how you can help:THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART!! and now the same group of you may want to stop reading this post because I have had it with some people and will no longer sit and read the stupidity of this world when it comes to my children. For those of you who are loving, kind, and supportive would you leave a comment and I will post each and every one so that we all can be reminded of just how many warriors God has called upon to fight in His army? It is because of individuals such as yourselves that my sweet Carrington was covered in prayer during her recovery from years of individuals with no morals or hearts. It is because you have chosen to follow God in taking care of the orphans, whether through adoption yourself or just supporting those who do, that so many precious angels are living the life God has intended for them with the love and support of family.

WHOA! As one of your supporters let me take the chance now to tell you that Princess Carrington's name is mentioned constantly in our home. We love her, love you and your family and have said many a prayer for you. Sounds like the slug who has been disrupting others has found you. A friend on fB was upset the other day because someone was attacking them and their adoption. of course I'm not sure if this is the same person or not but, that's not what really matters. What matters is that there really are human beings out there that are seemingly spit up from the bowels of hell to wreak havoc on peoples lives. I'm so sorry you were targeted. All your children are beautiful. ALL OF THEM!! And me and my family will continue to pray ,love and support you every step of the way.
Some are toxic and I'm sorry they've targeted your beautiful family. God's beauty is so obvious in your children. Hugs...
People truly are unbelievable! A child is a child, no matter what! It doesn't matter where they come from, or if they have a disability, or a certain color hair! If the world had more families like yours it would be a better place. I can't imagine what a person's heart looks like to God, when they are able to say those things about his children that he perfectly created!
Your children are beautiful. You're family is beautiful. I could barely hold back tears as I stood in awe of your family at conference. There is so much love, and there is a radiance. You ALL are beautiful. I feel lucky to know your story.
I saw some comments from "Jules" on other blogs. I wonder if Jules knows her comments are beginning to boarder harassment and that a person was arrested for it and IP addresses can be traced?
awwww Iam so srry to hear those types of comments directed at you or anyone..the lady who posted these must be very mentally ill and feel very down on herself to make such comments.God loves all the little children as he should he made them all in his own image..we must love them all and in doing so we grow ourselves..
Wow, I am so sorry that ignorant, cruel and ugly people have tried to bring you down to their level. They are what they are, mean and bitter.
You and your family are beautiful!! I am so glad that I found your blog and have been blessed to follow your amazing journey. Thank you for all you do to help our sweet orphan angels around the world. You have brought awareness to the plight of the innocent children languishing in orphanages and invalid hospitals in EE. Thank you!!

I am so sorry that you are dealing with the nasty comments. So many of us have dealt with the same thing. I truly do feel sorry for those who feel the need to speak such wickedness. Praying they all learn grace.
We are happily supporting your adoption and were thrilled with the chance to sit with Princess Carrington during her stay in the hospital. I love watching her grow and learn and amaze. We will continue to pray you through this spiritual battle.
I am so, so sorry that you've had to deal with this. :( Everyone of your family members is a precious gift from God. As one of my friends said, Why is it that some people would rather eat scraps than at the buffet the Lord provides? Jules, stop eating the scraps that Satan is tossing in your direction, you'd be a much better person, believe me!
I noticed this Jules guy on another blog (i.e. "The Blessing of Verity") claiming that one of the kids was barely functional and was causing his parents to contemplate separation. The owner of the blog and the child's mother promptly dismissed his bogus claims.
He's probably just some troll who found RR while browsing Google Images. If that's the case, then he's looking for an outraged response and the best solution is just to block his comments or delete them.
Don't let unhappy people inspire negative emotions. Just be content with the knowledge that you've helped to address one of the world's most criminally overlooked human rights violations and that you continue to reap the rewards everyday :-)
I totally support you. I am amazed that people are so focused on americans "saving" their own. Children are blessings wherever they are born, loved, or orphaned. These commenters are so disrespectful of the basic premise of love and commitment and kindness.
Keep on your path, beautiful people. I know two boys who need you to march forward to them!

How sad that someone could be so callous and have such a hardened heart to not see the beauty unfolding right before their eyes. Anyone who cannot see the beauty in each child born, special needs included has not held a child and felt that child's heart beat. I personally am in awe of a child like Carrington's strength and will to live and that fighting spirit that God bestowed on her to hang on until her family reached her. We too are parenting a child - who is absolutely our joy - who was bestowed with that fighting spirit to hang on until we found each other - I thank God many times a day for letting me get to be her mom - that I get the honor of feeling her heart beat as I hold her at night - that in her fragile times I pray her heart continues to beat... oh what sadness to think some people don't get it. I know I am a lucky one and so blessed by God, as is my family for choosing us to live this life.

Your whole family is beautiful & wonderful!
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Whoever it is they are going around to many blogs. They recently hit my blog and I also wrote a blog post about them.
I really feel sorry for someone who has nothing better to do than to blog hop and sling insults at families who are trying to do something good.
Our children are a blessing. As parents we learn more about living through our child then we could ever hope to learn on our own.
As the bible says "And a little child shall lead them." Even God points out how important our children are.
As a mother I know how hurtful it is to hear anyone say anything hateful about your child. We tend to get more upset if they insult our children than if they insult us. Try not to listen to them. You know your children are beautiful, we know your children are beautiful, and most important, God and Jesus knows your children are beautiful.
Sadly, it sounds like the person going around saying hateful things never had a mommy to remind them "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
Always remember your friends are here for you and we love and support you.

That person is truely mean & has nothing better to do than be a stawker of blogs of those adopting. Praying for you! Keep fighting for your kids & others like them!
You are doing a wonderful job raising your kids. They are beautiful, and I pray that your whole family continue to shine God's light to a dark world. It is horrible that there are people out there who are mean and rude. Please remember that while we can be mad and upset, God (and Jesus)told us we must forgive others. What these people do and say are not good, but being mad at them does not hurt them. It only hurts you more.

this jules is not lucky enough to know that your children are beautiful from the inside out. no matter what is said you know your children are here to be loved and spoiled and loved some more. love you guys!
I dream of the day when God allows me to bring home our own "Carrington". I want to name her Sally. My pet name from my dad and in memoryand honor of another lovey blessed with an extra chromosome.
Some of the greatest prayer warriors I know have Down Syndrome. What more could you want for your children?
O yes, and Teagan^^'s other brother Kelton? He was my "prayer baby" from the moment I saw him on RR until I "happened" upon a blog by his mama. Swoon.
Dear Burmanfamily,
i'm so sorry you had to deal with this,
i love you and you are such an inspiration to us,
our goal is to go serve at the orphanages like the one Carrington came from...praying families will be coming soon to rescue as many as possible.
Love and blessings to you,
Adriana
Love what you are doing for all those babes needing a home. It's not what's on the outside that counts, it's what's pretty inside. Praying for you and your family. A devoted reader from NJ.
Your family and your precious little ones are in my prayers so very often. We know that God loves these little ones and that you are very blessed to have them in your life.
I am so sorry this person feels they can do this. I found your blog through a forum and they were asking us to send prayers to your family. I've been hooked since that day. We have coffee every morning together, your blog and I. Your family is amazing and your children absolutely adorable. It hurts my heart that people can be so deplorable and hateful. Your children are so very lucky to have you and your husband. I wish nothing but the very best for you and your family.

Your family is wonderful and beautiful! Sorry you've been hit by the troll. It seems to be going around on RR blogs. :(
you and your children are precious in every sense of the word! you shouldn't give another thought to jules. he/she has serious issues if he/she takes pleasure in leaving ugly comments on adoption blogs. sounds like he/she really needs to get a life!
we'll be praying for peace for you and your family!
Rock on Mama...tell 'em how it is!!!

Don't feed the trolls. They don't deserve the space on your blog. Delete their comments and pray for God to change their hearts.
Jesus died for their sins as well as ours. They don't understand and they will not be shamed into silence. The best thing you can do is to never mention that they got to you and delete this post. We must love our enemies and pray for grace when we fall short.
I love you guys. I think about you all often. Keep fighting the good fight. You are an inspiration for all of us seeking to live our lives the way God wants us to.
Praying for God's protection around all of our families. What a sad thing that someone takes the time to put down others and try to stop adopting families. Last time I checked not a single family stopped adopting or advocating because of these unwelcome commenters.
Love you and your family they are beautifully perfect just as God intended them to be.
Oh, gracious! Lord convict the cold in heart and prepare them for your overwhelming love. HE can melt any and all, even if they currently deny His existence, before long ALL will confess that there is one Lord!
I agree with Raegan...don't feed the trolls. You have a beautiful family and you know you are following God's path. Some people are blinded by their evilness and cannot understand why someone would chose to do this. Keep on doing what you know is the right thing and tell the TROLLS to go to H*LL
I just hit my like button!! You go Mama Bear!!
Bless you and your family. You are brave and beyond loving to follow in God's footsteps and fight for orphans. Your children are beautiful and lucky to have been rescued by you. There are always going to be people who judge but only ONE has the right! Please continue to share your story with the readers who support you!
Seriously? who are these evil losers that have such little character to attack a special needs child?? My son Joshua, 6 with DS, is a gift.. Who sets the standard in this world? Whovis this person that she thinks she is of more worth than our children?? I think NOT! whoever this person is, I CHALLENGE them to say this garbage to me.. But they are a coward with the disability of NO CHARACTER!!!
Carrington is beautiful, a precious angel!!!!!!
Sorry that these kind of people creap into this. I personally find you to be inspiring. I feel sorry for that persons mother. Children are children no matter the Color or location.

You and your beautiful family are in our thoughts and prayers. May your light continue to shine. Will say a prayer that God will work on Jules' soul for light seems to be absent there.
People chose to make nasty comments out of their own insecurities and chosen ignorance. It is shameful that someone has made a target of your beautiful family, just know that these nasty people are the minority! The majority are people like myself, I have read your blog since you started your journey to bring the girls home and I have been inspired, blessed, and blown away by what God has done. Sharing Carrington's story has helped me raise awareness of special needs adoptions in my family and community. By sharing her story my parents finally understodd why God has called me to adopt one day. So thank you, thank you for being brave enough to put your story out for the world to see and thank you for sharing the love of God.
God Bless,

Hi. My name is Rila.I arranged with some of the peeps in my crocheting group to donate items to the auction to help bring Teagan home. I got a lot of guff from people (not in the group)wanting to know why I was not helping people in the US. Like how do they know I'm not? and for that matter what are they doing to help matters. I follow your blog, The Blessing of Verity, The Road DOWN Home, No Greater Joy Mom and several others. I update every night in another group on FB called Praying Angels. The group is always delighted with the updates and we pray or have praise for at least one, and sometimes all of you every night, depending on the situation. How can anyone look at Carrington and not see her worth? In fact all of them have so much. Just look at how they blossom now. Sorry about the Rambling but wanted you to know exactly where I stand. And I think I can speak for all the members of Praying Angels too.
I am so, so sorry you have had to deal with such ignorance and cruelty!
You're children are beautiful! The sweet photos you post never fail to make me smile, and rejoice at what God's love, in human form can do.
We pray that one day God will allow us the privilege of rescuing one His precious, neglected jewels.
Please don't give the trolls any more of your energy. You have the most beautiful family and God Bless you all.
We are all getting hit by these comments lately. I delete them even before I read them. They are ugly and hurtful, but they are not true. Your children are beautiful and a gift to me and many others. Carrington inspires me to be a better person and a better mother. Her contribution to my life through your blog is priceless. She along with others are the reason why my family is so close to picking up our own little angel in EE.
I am so sorry someone would say that! I don't know all of your children but Carrington is beautiful! God has blessed you with an amazing family and don't let anyone tell you different.

I'm so sorry - I think someone must be going through all of Reece's Rainbow blogs, because I'm seeing this from A LOT of people lately. I hope they smoke this person out of their mother's basement soon - until then, I like what Reagan said.
Thank you for sharing Carrington's stories with us - she is a beautiful girl and I love her little laugh. I'm glad to see how well she's doing - I use your blog as an example to others of what's going on and what people are doing to help.
All of your children are just so beautiful, inside and out. You are an amazing person doing wonderful things. Stay strong. Love and strength from Melissa - Australia. x
Don't worry about him/her.... Their uneducated, ignorant criticisms are only an indication of how completely insecure they are in their own lives. And to leave such hurtful comments are just a stupid tool to help them feel dominant. Pity them for not being able to or ever had been loved and cherished. YOu have a beautiful family....
Thesse attacks are straight from the pit of hell. Satan cannot stand the awesome things that are stirring in this world. Please do not give in to the crap. Just hit delete and know that for every one ignorant comment there are 100 of us praying for you AND being changed by what you and your family AND the other families who are stepping out in faith are doing! Thank You! Sheri
Your children are beautiful. I am so sorry to hear that such cruel things are being said about them. Just remember that you have more supporters then you have those who are against you.
Your children have done and are continuing to do far more good in this world than those who post such ugliness ever have, or ever will, just by being their own sweet selves. You, by bringing ALL your children into your family, have inspired and educated so many.
How much better to make such positive differences than to attempt spread such inner personal hatred, dissonance and turmoil as "Jules" amply demonstrates. Do not respond to such ugliness, tempting though it is, as it delights such twisted people to know they've caused pain. Instead, pray for healing for "Jules", and for all the other Jules out there. They desperately need healing, as their sickness of the heart and soul so mightily outweighs any "special needs" of our beautiful, much-loved, much-loving children.
Thinking of you and your precious children,

You and your whole family are beautiful - inside and out! Ignore the ugly comments. These people are not worthy of your time, your anger, or even a blog post.
You tell 'em, mama! I just found your blog tonight, I was reading a number of blogs from children who were adopted via RR (as I plan to do myself - I am 22, waiting on age and money!) and first I read Susanna's blog about Katie, then I read a few more, then I saw a photo of Carrington when she first came to be your daughter and it clicked me over to your blog... and I've spent all night (it's 6 am, I haven't been to sleep) reading about her progress, watching each post as she gets stronger and chubbier and oh, so unbelievably cute. Now I'm looking at your boys (who are very much yours even though they are not home yet) and thanking God for putting a person like you on earth to be their mama. I've been grinning from ear to ear, to the point that my face is starting to hurt, seeing Carrington grow bigger and stronger. You are an AMAZING person and an AMAZING mother, and your children are beautiful and special, each and every one of them - and you are inspiring others by sharing your family with us. Unfortunately that also opens you up to negativity, which, because it's so ugly, can seem to take up oh so much space... but truly, the good outnumber the bad, as evidenced by the ever-increasing numbers of children saved from the orphanages and institutions. You're one of the good ones, and so are all your kids. Just think, someday they'll all be adults, who've been raised to value life; ALL life, think of the difference THEY will make! All because you said yes, opened your heart, and fought the good fight. Don't let ignorance get you down - we've got them outnumbered and outsmarted ;)
your children are precious and beautiful. i stand with you in understanding! im sorry for the hurtful words this coward left...
love and hugs, rachel

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that this horrible human being just went on my blog and did the same thing and she called out other families who I am afraid she will attach also. She called my babies ugly lil dumplings and told me I was irresponsible for fundraising. I am just sick over it. This person has problems, serious problems. I am so proud of you for standing up to this. AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE GORGEOUS GIFTS FROM GOD!!!!!!
